Hi people,
Thought I'd start one of these on this site, as I'll soon be officially a Renault turbo owner!
This is the car a couple of years ago (at Uni), pretty similar to how it was when I took it off the road.
However the car hadn't moved for a while whilst been in the garage, check out this all you detailing peeps!
So started with the obligatory stripping of the interior.
All door cards out, doors off, bonnet off.
Few pics
I'd been having problems with my fuse box, since I'd taken it to pieces to sort some wiring out, so I made bracket to keep it out of the foot well a little more.
I then cut dash in half and cut all the ribbing out of the back of it, so it was just a shell.
Then I went and collected one of my ebay bargains.
ta dar!
So then I had to take this out.
Couple of hours and a few swear words later this was out.
And the shell was looking like this.
Gearbox and engine came out as one but then were split to sell.
JC5 box from 172 up for grabs pm me if interested.
Engine bay was absolutely filthy as it wasn't cleaned for a good 9 months, quick jet wash with some degreaser and it was looking a lot better.
You can actually see the colour of the subframe and power steering pipes lol
Last thing I did was tuck it back away in the garage, with the engine crane and sheet of 6mm steel plate I'd bought for making the alternator bracket and power steering pump.
It will be a good couple of weeks if not months until I'm able to get over to it again.
So progress will be slow, but I'll keep you updated with purchases I make as I have quite a large shopping list
